You will laugh. You will cry. My mother, Anna, suffers from Alzheimer's. She was diagnosed in 2008. This book is not written to make fun of this terrible disease, but to show how I am coping with it. Mom's stories are unbelievable and give insight to how her mind works.What is the difference between Alzheimer's and Dementia?

Experts have documented common patterns of symptom progression that occur in individuals with Alzheimer's disease. Based on these patterns, they developed several methods of "staging."

I want to let them know that they are not alone. We can't change the disease. Don't feel guilty; your loved one wouldn't want you to give up your life for them.
